What's wrong, in plain English

Volkswagen is recalling certain ID4 vehicles because a sealing ring on the electric motor was not assembled correctly. This can allow coolant to leak into the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system, which may interfere with onboard communication and the power supply. That interference can affect safety-critical systems and warning lights in the vehicle.

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact a Volkswagen dealer to schedule an inspection; you can also call Volkswagen customer service at 1-800-893-5298.
